безпечна книжка для мого настрою в ці дні — маленький або й великий подарунок долі. дякую відеоподкасту про культ 2000-х за нагадування про цей роман 90-х. те, що я не знала раніше, скільки тут літрів іронії та вдалих дотепів, в тому числі на стилістичному рівні, створило ефект втішної несподіванки. на відміну від повітряної тривоги кілька хвилин тому

I am currently reading about Austerlitz’s mother being sent to a concentration camp. The most painful realization is that I still find myself surprised by people’s detachment, allowing this to happen again even while recognizing the historical parallels. History is not only repeated - it is often quietly permitted.

Аустерліц

Kate Dots is 40% done with Literature and Evil
I'd say the first sentence of the blurb doesn't reflect its complexity. Relieving in the more disturbing hours, perhaps too disturbing for the quieter ones, Bataille is proof that the world holds affection for us humans. It was almost too exciting at times, so I had to post it to mutilate my reading = )

Fieldwork log, entry #smth:
Some people tend to accuse you of populism or moralistic blah-blah.
Until something happens in their own region — then, naturally, it’s totally fine for them to endorse the exact same thing.
(Immanuel tried. The rest of us improvise — a few manage coherence. I hope I got the intention part down.)

I've read this much, and wow — if anyone needs inspiration to fight for truth on any level, it's well worth reading

...“the artwork does not occupy a single position in space and time; rather, it is a palimpsest of gestures, presentations, and positions . . . In short: it turned art into discourse . . . Had anyone previously done such work with copies and editions within the realm of high art?”

Thank you to all the wonderful creatures for being yourselves and for enduring the hell of true existence (yep, I said hell — but you can call it, say, the good place, if you prefer; but at least there is a lovable inferno of people here). I’ll probably close the page now and then, just to step away from the noisy surveillance — but I trust you know my number (and the friend request option is still there).

"[Kant] exposes himself to the critical force of Morton’s observation that large finite numbers are actually more threatening than infinite ones. As Morton puts it: “There is a real sense in which it is far easier to conceive of ‘forever’ than very large finitude. Forever makes you feel important. One hundred thousand years makes you wonder whether you can imagine one hundred thousand anything.“" fr

Pale words drift around ineffable moments they scarcely dare to convey, let alone preserve. These moments wash away regrets and most of the pain. All of it, if only for a while. But hey — reading’s great, yep.

The discourse with having an open discourse, of course, is that discourses will insist on discourse along and trying to discourse discourses in it.

Місцями читати доволі нудно, не в останню чергу тому, що (напів)свідомі реконструювання експансивних імперіалістичних ідеологій – на жаль, надто добре знайомі і майже неметафоричні скалки в задниці, процес витягування яких, зрештою, шкодить усім сторонам, але є нюанс. Під фантастичним впливом хорошого настрою вірю, що людство колись витягне їх усіх, і навіть якщо й далі житиме в задниці, вона хоча б болітиме менше =]
